Liège-Bastogne-Liège 2021 (April 25th)

[Pantani_lives]

Glad that UAE is taking part in LBL! They will be a big factor (Pog and Hirschi). The latter (even if not in his best form) could be an important figure helping Pog in a tactical race.

That team looks somewhat scary on paper if you realize that Formolo, their third man, finished second here.

Ineos looks bad too, with the Giro winner as their fourth man. However they often underperform in Liège.

The women are dropping. Winder out as well.

Pogačar and Valverde re my picks for this race. Both are in good shape and like a hard race

They're away

Wait a minute, Roglic is a decathlete too? Is there anything that man can't do?

Make pasta from scratch.

Happy birthday to Valverde.

41 today.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Maximilian Schachmann will win this professional bicycle race

 

[RedheadDane]

Make pasta from scratch.

Pedal with his face

Or at least he doesn't do it much, dunno if he actually can.

 

[Red Rick]

Happy birthday to Valverde.

41 today.

The dark armies then will come

When the years are 41.

 

[Velolover2]

Cyclists peak at 41. Today is Valverde's day.

That's just Valverde minus the 3rd hair transplant right?

Pretty chilly.

Girls on air.

I really hate all those violet jerseys. Why is that allowed?

Chrome suggestion just sent me down memory lane on my 3rd LBL as a TV viewer.

1986 was a wet and cold edition of La Doyenne, but Italian, Moreno Argentin came out on top - Photo and video gallery from Liège '86.

So emotions warmed up, just today's pack to deliver - and I think they'll do ❤

It's a shame that Stockeu is excluded in the women's race.

The biggest classics for women should be above 150 km, IMO. It's not like they can't handle a race that is 160-180 km as a test of endurance.

AVV would properly love it.

Dangerous break, but unfortunately for them a lot of riders came back to the peloton after La Redoute.

 

[RedheadDane]

One moment it looked like they were about to be caught. Now they have over 30 seconds.

 

[sir fly]

Seems that Brand and Moolman-Pasio think Cille is stronger than them.
Pity, 'cause this was their best chance too.

 

[RedheadDane]

And they're caught.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Seems that Brand and Moolman-Pasio think Cille is stronger than them.
Pity, 'cause this was their best chance too.

They were mostly there to put pressure on JV, Movistar and Canyon-SRAM, but they weren't going to help Cille too much with ELB and Vollering/van der Breggen behind. If s many helpers hadn't come back, they might have been fully committed though.

Vos cracking.
